Sick GRTB18-P2412 Photoelectric Sensor

The GRTB18-P2412 is a robust Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensor from Sick, engineered for precision detection in industrial automation. This Sick Photoelectric Sensor combines advanced background suppression with high-speed response, making it ideal for machine builders, OEMs, and process engineers requiring stable performance in compact sensing applications.

The Sick GRTB18-P2412 operates on a photoelectric proximity sensing principle with background suppression for accurate target detection, even in environments with reflective or irregular surfaces. It utilizes a PinPoint LED that emits visible red light at 650 nm, producing a sharp 7 mm light spot at 100 mm distance for precise optical alignment. With a sensing range of 20 mm to 150 mm and a maximum range up to 300 mm, it ensures versatility across short to mid-range detection tasks. The PNP output configuration supports both light and dark switching modes, while the potentiometer adjustment allows easy fine-tuning of sensitivity. Designed to operate on 10–30 V DC with low power consumption (30 mA), the GRTB18-P2412 Photoelectric Sensor delivers rapid detection with a response time under 500 µs and a switching frequency of 1,000 Hz. Its nickel-plated brass cylindrical housing and PMMA optical lens ensure high durability, corrosion resistance, and optical clarity. The IP67 enclosure rating provides protection against dust and water ingress, making it reliable for demanding environments such as packaging machines, conveyor systems, and robotic cells. Equipped with a M12, 4-pin male connector and supplied with fastening nuts, the Sick GRTB18-P2412 offers effortless installation and long-term stability in industrial setups.

The Sick GRTB18-P2412 Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensor is trusted across industries such as automotive manufacturing, material handling, printing, and food packaging. Its compact design allows integration into tight mechanical spaces, while its fast response ensures accurate detection of fast-moving objects on production lines. Engineers prefer it for applications like part presence detection, bottle counting, and conveyor alignment where precision and reliability are non-negotiable. With background suppression and high switching frequency, it eliminates false triggering even in variable lighting conditions. Maintenance teams appreciate its rugged metallic housing, which withstands vibration, dust, and oil, reducing downtime. Whether used in automated assembly or robotic end-of-arm tooling, the GRTB18-P2412 ensures consistent performance, long life, and minimal recalibration, making it a reliable choice for 24/7 industrial operations.
